2023 Pierre Morey, Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru

The 2023 Pierre Morey Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru embodies the domaine's rigorous biodynamic viticulture, a practice fully established in their vineyards since 1997, and a commitment to whole-cluster pressing with ambient yeast fermentation. Sourced from an east-facing, mid-slope parcel within Bâtard-Montrachet, the wine reflects its deep clay-limestone and marl soils, which impart a foundational richness. The 2023 vintage, marked by overall warmth interspersed with rain, demanded exact harvest timing in the Côte de Beaune to achieve physiological ripeness while retaining essential acidity. Consequently, this Chardonnay Grand Cru delivers notable mid-palate weight and an expansive textural presence, structured by a precise, taut acidity that ensures both tension and a persistent finish. It stands as a testament to the direct link between meticulous vineyard stewardship and an unadulterated expression of terroir.
